Kamala never said she would be the first woman if she wins in November

I guess Kamala Harris didn't want to tempt fate but throughout her 40-minute speech to adoring supporters at the Chicago Democratic convention she never once said that if she wins in November she will be the first woman to become president of the United States. It's also a sign of the times. Don't confess to being a woman. Don't confess to being a man. Don't confess to any gender in case it upsets someone. Or maybe she didn't want to state the obvious. But the fact is that if she beats old man Trump in November she will be a first in many respects, her gender, her origins and the extraordinary way she has suddenly leapt from being Number Two to Number One in the top hierarchy of the Democratic party. Her running-mate is a bit folksy but apparently Americans like that, so the combination of Kamala and Tim looks headed for victory over disgruntled-looking Donald and a not-much-liked JD. Trump must be particularly enraged that he is facing a far more attractive rival for the presidency. He doesn't have a very good reputation for his dealings with women, he wanted to jail Hillary Clinton remember, so he knows that unless he can dig up some seriously damaging dirt on Kamala (his team must be searching the internet) by November, and unless he cheers up and tries to smile a bit, he is going to be undone by a woman who does little else but smile.
